Brief Summary

Emergence agitation (EA) is a transient, self-limited, non-fluctuating state of psychomotor excitement, which closely revolves around the emergence of general anesthesia. Uncontrolled EA during the recovery period increases the potential risk of injury to patients and medical staff, resulting in varying degrees of adverse consequences, such as elevated blood pressure, incision rupture, bleeding, cardio-cerebrovascular accidents and so on, leading to a great waste of resources. Accumulating scientific evidence indicates that the incidence of EA is related to the use of perioperative sedative drugs. As a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam has been accepted for induction and maintenance of clinical anesthesia. Compared to traditional benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam combines the safety of midazolam with the effectiveness of propofol, and also has the advantages of acting quickly, short half-life, no injection pain, slight respiratory depression, independent of liver and kidney metabolism, long-term infusion without accumulation, and has a specific antagonist: flumazenil. This study aims to investigate whether perioperative sedation of Remimazolam besylate, propofol, and sevoflurane have different effects on the incidence of emergence agitation and hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The incidence of emergence agitation

    The Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (RSAS) score ≥ 5 points indicates the presence of emergence agitation.

    Duration from the time patients awakening to the time of departure from post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), average 1 hour.

  • The incidence of emergence agitation

    The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) ≥ +1 points indicates the presence of emergence agitation.

    Duration from the time patients awakening to the time of departure from PACU, average 1 hour.

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Systolic pressure

    "30 minutes before intubation", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the post-anesthesia care unit, in about six hours", " mornings and afternoons on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation".

  • Diastolic pressure

    "30 minutes before intubation", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the post-anesthesia care unit, in about six hours", " mornings and afternoons on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation".

  • Mean pressure

    "30 minutes before intubation", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the post-anesthesia care unit, in about six hours", " mornings and afternoons on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation".

  • Heart rate

    "30 minutes before intubation", "immediately after intubation", "every 5 minutes after intubation until the patient leaves the post-anesthesia care unit, in about six hours", " mornings and afternoons on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation".

  • Recovery times

    Duration from the time patients awakening to the time of departure from PACU, average 1 hour.

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Remimazolam Besylate

EXPERIMENTAL

Induction of anesthesia Slowly inject Remimazolam Besylate 0.3\~0.5 mg/kg (about 1 minute) until loss of consciousness (LoC) and BIS\<60, if the degree of sedation is insufficient, additional Remimazolam Besylate (0.05 mg/kg each time) is allowed. After the LoC, sufentanil 0.3\~0.5 ug/kg and cisatracurium besilate 0.2-0.3 mg/kg are injected intravenously. After the muscles are sufficiently relaxed and blood circulation is stable, the tracheal tube is inserted under a glide scope.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Induction of anesthesia Slowly inject Propofol 2\~2.5 mg/kg (about 1 minute) until loss of consciousness (LoC) and BIS\<60, if the degree of sedation is insufficient, additional Propofol (0.5 mg/kg each time) is allowed. After the LoC, sufentanil 0.3\~0.5 ug/kg and cisatracurium besilate 0.2-0.3 mg/kg are injected intravenously. After the muscles are sufficiently relaxed and blood circulation is stable, the tracheal tube is inserted under a glide scope.
